Hi Bob,
Thank you for your kind words.
Most of the exam scripts are scanned and marked by the examiners in their computer. There is no penalty for going beyond the lines, however, you are risking your answers not fitting into the scanned screen. If this happens, you will lose marks as the examiners won?t be able to see your full answers.
Alternatively, you may write on the blank pages provided within the answer sheet. Any blank pages that are used by a candidate in the examinations are scanned and marked as long as you properly label it.
Lastly, do not do more than what is required. You will not lose marks but you will lose time. In such a situation the examiner will usually take the first two answers: the examiner will not select the correct answers from your list.
Hey there!!
Honestly, thankuuu for the past papers! SO MUCH HELP~~
So can you give me some tips to score marks in math? I do fine but I’d love to brush up more on my skills so I can score the best when i do my exams in the Oct/Nov series..
Hi Rainberry,
You’re welcome. 🙂
With Maths,
1. Learn and understand the key concepts and formulas. Familiarise/memorise the key equations/formulas (refer to the latest syllabus on what is expected: https://igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-subjects-syllabuses/ ).
2. Do revision based on the latest syllabus and practice with the latest past exam papers (https://igcsecentre.com/cambridge-igcse-past-exam-papers/ ). Pay attention to the most common mistakes you always seem to make. Make notes and revise them, so you can avoid making the same mistakes in your actual exam.
Tips:
Minimize your reference checks. Try solving a problem with the formula without looking it up. You MUST do this as many times as you can. You will be able to remember the formulas/key equations better when you repeat this step.

Thanks a lot guys!!!
can we give any test for the analysis of anions or only the ones in the syllabus guide??
Hi Aditi,
We suggest that is best to follow what is in the syllabus.
You may want to contact the exam board, CAIE (https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/ ), and ask them this question. Only the exam board could give you the confirmation on the mark scheme.
Alternatively, you can always get confirmation from your school?s IGCSE exam coordinator. The exam coordinator should be able to help you in this.
for the first question on a page if we write two to four words below the lines given for the question then is the examiner going to correct that?
also, the scanning occurs pages wise or questions wise???

hi IGCSE,
i recently gave my english firt language paper two… I just wanted to check if not writing a title for an article can lead to lesser marks…
Thanks!
Hi SD,
It depends if the title is part of the requirement of the question. If the question indicate to have the title, then yes you must include the required title give in the question.
Hi can you guys add 2019 specimen paper of Feb/March
Hi Chirag,
Specimen papers are only available when there?s a change in syllabus. Specimen papers will not be available if the syllabus remains the same. Thus, the question format would be the same as previous years.
